Review of Chromosomes, Cell Division and Meiosis

For this cell reproduction worksheet, scholars complete a concept map using different vocabulary words that describe the different phases a cell goes through in the reproduction process.

If a cell is unable to regulate the cell cycle, wild cell growth may occur, leading to cancer. Learners explore the cell cycle, using mitosis and meiosis to create new cells. Learners walk, simply, through each phase of the cell cycle:...

You slough off all your skin cells once every seven years. Thank goodness for mitosis, or we would all be looking pretty strange without skin. The video begins by reviewing the cell cycle, looks at an overview of cells undergoing...

Overview of mitosis and the cell structures that are critical to the process.

It is hard to believe a 300-foot-tall Redwood tree began as a single cell hundreds of years ago. How did it grow so large? Observe how different kinds of cells (bacteria, sex cells, and eukaryotic cells) reproduce or make more cells...

Young scientists demonstrate their understanding of cell transport on this comprehensive worksheet. Focusing on cellular structure and the different processes that allow materials to move into, out of, and throughout animal...

Slideshow of mitosis and meiosis side-by-side. It is a summation of the two processes and the differences between them are clear.

Explore the structure of cell membranes including cholesterol, glycolipids, glycoproteins, phospholipids, and proteins. The video shows and discusses the fluid mosaic model as well as how cell walls differ from cell membranes. 

Although we cannot clone ourselves yet, our bodies make copies of our cells every day. The video begins by defining diploid and haploid. Learners see the cell cycle and begin to understand what happens in interphase before mitosis...

Cell division and all the biological aspects of activation and chemical signals are detailed here. Cyclin, G phases, cell growth, and cancer checkpoint control systems are explained and the triggers listed. The slides are very clear and...
